The atmosphere this game creates with its top notch sound design and stunning art style is something special to behold. Coupled with a captivating "show don't tell" story, it's one of the eeriest and most immersive experiences modern gaming has to offer.

Not without its share of issues though. Whenever you have to wield a weapon or flashlight, the game can easily get frustrating due to how slow and clunky it controls. These controls and the at times awkward camera will make action and chase sequences more tense, but not always in an enjoyable sense. There were also the occasional bugs that required me to reload the last checkpoint because a key item didn't show up for some reason.

Other than that though, this is one of the better horror games released in the past few years and it is a solid improvement on the first game.
